Read your horoscope for Venus in Scorpio
Flirting with the dark side
When Venus, the planet of love and connection, slinks into Scorpio from December 4th to December 29th, relating intensifies. This fixed water sign isn’t interested in superficial flirtation or mainstream glamor. Instead, Venus in Scorpio angles for intimate heart-to-hearts, complex depictions of beauty, and the chance to shed its shiny surface layer. Just as the scorpion crawls through the world with a venom-loaded tail, this placement is viscerally aware of its dark side — and everyone else’s. When knocked out-of-balance, that knowledge can manifest as a dogged hunt for things to take aim at — digging through an ex’s social media, anyone? But at its best, the zodiac’s misunderstood arachnid has a unique willingness to pierce through half-truths and get to the root of problems and passions alike.
Venus in this Mars-ruled sign knows that in order for relationships to have stamina and staying power, they must be willing to tackle the tough stuff. ‘Fessing up to tricky truths, initiating uncomfortable talks, or wading in the deep end of the feelings pool reconnects us to life-giving eros, emotional regeneration, and fresh possibilities for connection. Others might call it “too much.” But this placement knows that leaning in to secrets is the quickest way to be set free.

Over the next few weeks, cut to the core of your committed relationships — romantic partners, best friends, or colleagues.
Small talk and superficial charm is not always enough. Sometimes, tuning in to your deepest instincts, holding space for intense discussions, and letting your most profound feelings lead is the most transformative route.
Tactfully offering your raw presence or emotion to your loves can dissolve falsity and heal persistent issues at the source. The willingness to risk vulnerability with trusted others, or guard your secrets with those you’re less sure about, strengthens and affirms your inner knowing — the most crucial connection of them all.

Gemini & Gemini Rising
Over the upcoming weeks, acts of service — for yourself or others — are unusually enriching.
The greater your focus, the more depth and intensity you have to channel. This might mean agreeing to help a colleague work on a project into the wee hours. But it could also mean devoting yourself to your own wellness rituals, from unbinding spells to purifying cleanses or extractive skin procedures.
There’s a yearning at this time to get to the bottom of things, so whatever you do, commit to it entirely. Follow your body’s instinctual clues about where to pinpoint your attention. Giving your all to your efforts regenerates your relationships and your capacity to give.

Cancer & Cancer Rising
Over the upcoming weeks, it’s more satisfying than usual to tunnel into your broody alter ego’s yearnings. Whether that means excavating ancestral wounds over a casual dinner date or scouting noir accessories, indulge in your own intricacies.
Pleasure is just as nuanced as anything else. There’s subtlety and variation to what brings you joy — and some of it comes from romping in the shadowlands. Right now, romance and creativity are more complex than usual — just how you like it. Move past fun’s shimmery top layer and get to the primal core of what feels good.

Leo & Leo Rising
Over the upcoming weeks, explore your depths — and your loved ones’ too.
Pore over old family notebooks, photo albums, or memento boxes, and explore the mysteries of your lineage. If you feel called, dig into difficult memories from the past with a therapist or wise friend and tunnel deep beneath their surface into raw sensation. Doing so with someone you trust can trigger emotional alchemy.
Summon your inner child’s power to feel it all and regenerate anew. Gather with close pals or chosen family at home and share secrets to strengthen your intimacy.

Virgo & Virgo Rising
When it comes to communication, you’re a natural detective. You’re aware that the most riveting stories aren’t always the ones with surface gloss, but the ones with subtleties that require paying closer attention to.
Over the upcoming weeks, indulge your own desire to chase down hidden truths. Psychoanalyze your intentions in your personal writing. Speculate on the world’s many mysteries on your podcast. Study up on body language and trade secrets with confidantes.
But resist searching for ulterior motives everywhere — not every half-baked text or cryptic exchange with your barista is riddled with secrecy. Keep your focus on higher-level intrigue — like what your own underlying motivations are.
Feeding yourself the complex mind candy you deserve makes all your exchanges more fascinating.

Libra & Libra Rising
Over the next few weeks, notice what you cling to.
Gripping too tightly to what we deem valuable — from friends, to money, to time — is ultimately a way of resisting life’s natural cycles of regeneration. If you find yourself feeling possessive about treasured items or paramours, practice letting go.
Cultivating faith that resources and relationships are meant to shift, transform, and naturally rejuvenate syncs you up to your own embodied wisdom. Relaxing your guard allows you to meet the riches of the present moment, without suspicion cramping its splendor.
The more you’re willing to give up the reins, the more space abundance and fulfillment have to rush in.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
Your secret villain glamor is on the rise. Your charisma comes trailing complexity, intrigue, and an aura of mystery.
The point of naturally emanating “witch” and “super spy” is that when you relax into your natural instincts, you attract admirers who are up for a challenge. Only those who are willing to bond deeply and crack your heart’s tricky code will ultimately satisfy you. No emotional dabblers allowed.
If you sense that someone is the real deal, however, throw them a line: cracking your formidable facade now and again lets those who are drawn to you have an access point. After all, what’s the point of having secrets if you have no one to trade them with?
Over the upcoming weeks, play up your mystique and magnetize the soulful obsessives, sensual detectives, and potential twin flames that can match your intensity.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
Over the upcoming weeks, brood behind the scenes.
Your safe havens, restful abodes, and sacred sanctuaries tend to feel intense. You rejuvenate best by tunneling into your inner world, so go ahead: indulge your desire for privacy. Cloak your bed in curtains so you disappear when you dream. Burn dragon’s blood incense. Lock your diary and hide it.
When you cultivate your solitude, your radiant secret selves have room to emerge. If others wonder what you’re up to when you’re not adventuring, let them. Your mysteries are yours alone to explore.

Your network isn’t just made of fun interpersonal links. It’s more like an intricate spider’s web of power plays, secret agendas, and opportunities to broker transformative intimacy.
Over the coming weeks, lean in to meaningful interactions with those you trust. Cultivate the deep shares, revelatory email threads, and profound exchanges that satisfy your desire for intensity. Even in group settings.
Trust your body’s clues about who you should be conspiring with. Embodied wisdom has much to teach you about who your soulmate friends are. Noticing who makes your palms sweat or your heart flutter hooks you into your innate somatic intuition.
Honoring your uniquely sneaky role in the social ecosystem taps you into the subtle reverberations rippling through your community’s many threads.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
Is it the power of love, or the love of power? Over the upcoming weeks, notice where your secret motivations emerge in your relationships or public roles. If you find yourself craftily trying to take the upper hand with a dear one or in your career, practice relaxing your hidden agenda.
The truth is, you don’t need total control over your intimacies or your ambitions for them to succeed. Faith is a muscle, and practicing trusting that everything will ultimately turn out as it should helps you prosper. Lean into intense feelings and trace them back to their somatic source. Doing so cleanses them from your system.
Aligning yourself with life’s natural cycles of release and rejuvenation puts you in the perfect position to receive more than enough of what you crave.

For you, life’s greater point thrums beneath the surface. Over the upcoming weeks, tune in to the complex beauty of the earth’s vastness. Marvel at the night sky. Leave offerings on your altar for all of the divine’s many alter egos. Debate fellow esoteric detectives who are also on the prowl for clues.
